asleep in their dreams

 photo by gary gross

   Asleep in their dreams

   Here under the apple tree

   Blossoms hang heavily

   Nodding in the humidity

   In the bones of branches

   My secrets, tangled and held

   Dressed in drowsy fragrant lace

   tears fell amid the pink embrace

  

   The bruised haunt of lovers’ death

   I Hunger for my own demise

   Here where I lost you

   Here where I wait for you
